A friend of mine's boss gave her a free week at the Mayan Palace starting tomorrow and she's wondering if it's legit, etc. He is part of this timeshare group: Global Offices ,and the company is based out of Scottsdale. His name is on the main confirmation email, but she called Mayan and they...

Via Russ Black and Rocky Point 360's Facebook status posts (listed below), the new public beach that has been spoken about on here for the last few months has opened, just in time for the Semana Santa Mexican holiday. The entrance is apparently hard to find, but sounds like you take Fremont, go...

Heard lots of happy Spring Breakers on the Rocky Point Ramblings show this Saturday, and was wondering if some of you on the forum have similar stories and/or photos from this week you'd like to share. We need to let everyone know how misleading all those warnings and news reports were. And it...

It's an official Bank Holiday, next Monday the 6th, just wondering if that just means only government offices and schools will be closed, but everything else, including bars, supermarkets, etc. will be open. Yes? Correct? Thanks!

Well, the photos are actually from the Shark Bite bar's Facebook page. Pretty funny stuff, BooBar posted some pics as well. The Coast Guard finally had to tow the boat, which was captured here: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.3109014414587.2148232.1541132963&type=1

From the BooBar Facebook page, many of these were just posted in the last hour. Those guys are understandably pissed! Doesn't look like much has been completed in a month and their business has to be taking a huge hit...

So sad! Been going there since college trips down to Nogales. Many a night did that building provide shelter, become a meeting place for "lost" friends, and surely helped more than one eventual hangover hurt a little less the next morning. A new one will be built, but it'll never feel the same...

Just randomly ran into a friend of mine who used to be a concert promoter in Tucson and she said the show was fun, the musicians were top-notch and, though a local promoter boasted 1000 tickets sold, she could only confirm about 500-plus in attendance. She wanted to qualify this quote with the...
